4 GOOD BEGINNING.

The New York Legislature has apprO-
priated $500, 900 for the Museum of Nat
ural History in Central Park. Admission
to this is to be free. 1t was through the
recommendation Of Mayor HEWITT that
the bill was passed. Among other things,
he said: "The establishment of free mu-
seums and art galleries and similar places
of amusement at the expense OF the State
is q necessity which every(y grows more
apparent. ~ \ The community yves

This is a good beginning. Every city
of any considerable size should have parks
and museums that could be free for all
classes at least on Sunday. That is the
only day that thousands Of working people
have for rest and recreation, and it should
not be denied them. There are many peo-
pie who never attend church and never
will. BY having proper places for rest and
pleasure large numbers would be kept
from places that would do them harm.

TO DEFY THE LAW OR BE GROUND
TO POWDER.

HENRY GEORGE, in speaking of the
labor movement, says: I'm the recent
strike of coal handlers and 'lOngshoremen
some dozen other organizations struck to
help them, and this proving unsuccessful
it was even proposed that the brewers, the
engineers engaged in running elevators,
and the conductors and drivers of the New
York street car lines should strike. Now,
if the labor movement is to go on in this
direction, every man who looks ahead
must see that it will at last come to YiO-
lenee. This, at least, is clearly evident

Last year following a gain OF $59,673, l%3

these institutions Tor the two years to-
gcther was SllS,H2&, al, or nearly II per

than from 3 to . per rent. in the same

AZ more than One-half OF this increase is
in savings banks and the remainder in
trust companies, it is evident that it is the
earnings of the people who are not wealthy.
How Mr.. HENRY GEORGE will reconcile
this with his theory that the rich are be
coming richer and the poor poorer is not
plain. Facts show that wages are becOm-
ing greater, considering the amount of
commodities they will buy, while interest
and profits of capital are becoming less.

1--WE are breaking up as the plOwmsn
breaks up the soil for the sowing of new
seed. We are breaking up old traditions
We are breaking up hereditary rights
and planting everywhere the seed of uni
versal rights. We are breaking up the
idea that money makes men and not
moral worth. we are breaking uD the
idea that might makes right. We are
breaking up the idea that legislation
alone is for the rich. We are breaking up
the ldea that the Congress of the United
States must be run by the milliOIaires for
the benefit of millionsires. We are
breaking up the idea that few men may
hold millions of acres OF untitled land
while other men starve tor want of
one acre. We are breaking up the prac-
tiCe of putting the labor of criminals into
competition with honest labor
and starving it to death. We are break
ing up the practice of importing an
ignorant breed % monarchy and dyna-
mite in order to depreciate intelligent
skilled labor at home. We are breaking
up the practice OF employing little
children in factories, thus breeding race
defOrmity, ignorance and pTofigscy We
are breaking up the idea that the man
who works with his hands has need
neither Of education nor civil'Zing refine
ments. We are breaking up the idea that
an accident of sex puts one-hslf of the hu-
man race beyond the pale of constitutional
rights. We are breaking up theipract!ce
of paying women One-third the wages
paid men simply because she is q woman.
We are breaking up the idea that 8 man
may debauch an innocent giri!and shield
himself from penalty behind the law he
himself has made. We are breaking up
ignorance, intemperance, crime and OPP
preston of whatever character and
wherever found. Yes, the knights of
Labor are breaking up, and they will con
tinue their appointed work of breaking
up until universal rights shall
prevail, and while they may not

Few thoughtful women Will deny that
their sex depend more upon the inspira-
tion or impulse of the moment than upon
careful training and preparation in en-
abling them thoroughly to perform duties
devolving upon them. This indisputable
fact is to be lamented, not solely on &C
count of work ill-done, but also for the
mental and moral effect it has upon the
doer. Half the dissatisfaction found in
families, and dislike of household duties,
arises from the fact that women are in
competent for their life work, and there

doing.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR,
An Immense Falling OFF gin the Member
ship Reported.

An immense Failing Oh GIN the Member
ship Reported.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Commercial
Advertiser in a long article on the Knights
Of Labor says: From figures given out
lately by Mr.. Powderly, not to
reporters however, it is escer-
tanned that the membership OF the order
OF Knights of Labor has fallen from H.
000 00J 20 less than 100000 within the
last fourteen months. The loss has been
steady and is on the increase, while
accessions 10 the order grow fever every
month. The cause Of this is attributed
tC its failure to carry its vital point in the
strikes in the two great struggles, that on
the Missouri Pacific and the coal handlers
here. The article continues as follows:
"The losses have been greatest in New
York. District Assembly 20 mas lost half
its members within fourteen months. The
first great detection was that of the In
transitional Cigarmakers' Union which left
the assembly in & body on account
OF interference with its affairs during the
strike. The Knights of Labor lost %, 900
men by this move alone. Afterwards
there were similar troubles with the
bakers, bricklayers and almost every
other class Of laborers resulting in the
retirement from the order OF various
unions and individual members. Reports
from al sections of the country
show the same condition of things.
Nearly every day there is g dis
patch in the papers announcing the re
tirement Of some assembly or branch
from the Knights of Labor"
